May field on Russia
The series of articles about "Russia, written
by Dr. Leonard Mayfield
Mail Tribune, and the speeches he has scheduled
on the same subject, indicate to us tnat nis trip
was one of the best things that has happened o
Medford in a long time. " , . ' -
Len " is an intelligent, acute observer prob
ably as well equipped as -anyone 'in this com
munity to bring back impressions of tie .Rus-;
sian Soviets, and get the story across.
' He is not doing so with any "ax to grind," but
simply to tell us the truth, as he sees it, about
our chief competitor in the cold war..
THIS, in a way, is one of America's greatest
strengths in the Competition for-world lead
ership the freedom and the ability to; observe,
to think, and discuss the truth as we see it.
This the Russians deny themselves. 7. ,
..There are those who would, if given the
choice, bury their heads in the sand and refuse
to look at or listen to anything pertaining to the
Russian (or Chinese) communists because they
are, in effect, our enemies.
Nothing could be more short-sighted. For if
they are, in truth, enemies, then the more we
know about them, the stronger our own position
will be; and the stronger we can make ourselves
to withstand their propaganda.
TX7E DISTRUST the Russian government and,
X based on our experiences, with good reason.
" The Russians, in turn, distrust our- govern
ment, for that is what they have been taught for
the past 42 years. ... t
But the peoples of the two' nations, Mayfield
is convinced, are alike in many ways, and are
sincerely devoted to the cause of peace. Yet, be
cause the governments are at odds; we must
"keep pur powder dry," keep ourselves strong as
a nation, improve on our own admitted defects,
and try to convince the world that we seek free
dom and justice, for ourselves and for the worldl
: It seems to us that such trips as that which Dr.
Mayfield was privileged to take do more toward
this end than anything else we can do. E.A.
Nuclear vs. Hydro Power
Astoria vis dependent, in large part, on the
Columbia river salmon fishery (which includes
off-shore: fishing). .
"Dams across-the Columbia and its tributaries
either , cut off , the annual spawning,.-runs alto
gether, or tend to cut down on them. ; k '.
Thus it is perfectly understandable that the
Astorian Budget supports the . construction of an
atomic power plant . a Hanf ord, Wash., before
any more high dams are constructed across the
streams which provide the salmon runs.
THE Budget, as a matter of fact, makes a point
which it seems to -us has been too little con
sidered in recent years--the fact that atomic pow
er, in one form or another, within the foreseeable
future will be able to compete economically with
hydroelectric energy, thus lessening the need for
big dams for power generation purposes.
The Pacific Northwest always will be in need
of dams for navigation, irrigation and flood con
trol purposes. And, as tirn goes on and the popu
lation increases, they must be increasingly devot
ed to improving fish, ; wildlife and recreational
resources. E.A. ... .'.
i Fission vs. Fusion
The comments above are not to say, however,
that nuclear, power will displace! hydro power,
or even coal-thermal power, by tomorrow or the
next day, or next year.
'-. There are two principal reasons it will be
some years away. v: ' " 7
The first is the fact that' America, as of now,
still has ample hydro and coal and oil resources
to furnish her power needs (unlike Great Britain,
which is far ahead. of the United States in atomic
power development).: ,: . - . . ;
, The second is the fact that atomic power (nu
clear fission) is inherently a limited source
limited by the supplies of uranium in the world
whereas thermonuclear power (nuclear fusion,
as in the hydrogen bomb), when perfected will
use the virtually unlimited supplies of deuterium
(heavy . hydrogen), contained in the world's
oceans. - " ", v .X
- :. - .
A TOMIC (or fission) power is being generated
"today, and is feasible, if not yet economically
competitive, in the United States.
Thermonuclear (or fusion) power has yet td
be accomplished although work on its develop
ment is progressing. - ; - v
The;question is whether vast sums should be
expended on the immediate perfection of economically-competitive,
. but eventually obsoles
cent, atomic power, or whether we should wait
until fusion power, the power source of the future,
can be generated.
. Either way, it's some time offi E.A.

"Pig" " ' r- .
To the Editor: This is" about
pig'- wild pig. One of Kip
ling's short stories was head
ed "Pig." It mentions the
Dravidian or wild pig of Hin
dustan. In the good old days,
Britain's lancers were trained
on pigsticking. "Thus writer
once enjoyed the consequent
feast. Kipling's yarn is worth
rereading by anyone contem
plating a horsetrade. it is a
warning that galling revenge
can come, as it . did to Pine
coffin. . v . :
Wild pig has a flavor all its
own. One has . it as wild
schwein at a castle dinner in
CzechoslovakiaAlso as Sang
lier in N.apoleon's Corsica.
Latter was the same wild boar
a French king once chased up
the spiral stairway to the roof
garden where the court ladies
watched the hunt. .
There is, however, also a
Ney World wild bpar dish.
Writer once tasked it . on a
Mexican hacienda-in the days
when Diaz still was president..
The haciendado had a hobby
of redskin meals. He was
pleased when we were interr
esfed. "You shall have a dish
as Aztecan as the chocolatal
you drink at my table - as the
avocatal you eat there."
Guaralupe, his highly effic
ient cook, was a squaw. She
made a succotash of beans and
maize Her husband, 'Jose,
was sent to shoots Javelina,
or wild pig. Biologists call it
"peccary." That dish of succo
tash was flavored with wild
pig. Jt truly was as Aztecan
as the Calendar Stone.
Many are1 the foods Colum
bus added to our diet: turkey,
corn, tomatoes, beans, squash,
peanuts, tapioca, potatoes,
sweet potatoes. Thus, the pig
is native to both Old and New
Worlds.

Problem for All
To the Editor: The Ameri
can standard of living is "you
must pay!" Now if you and I
benefit from a certain indus
try or industries, and their
aftermath is disagreeable, it
is only, right that you and I
should give our share to do
away with that disagreeable
ness. I am an orchard hand. I
probably earn, on an average
of about $2,900 a year. But
believe me, I would be willing
to give according to my earn
ings, and my expenses for
just every day living are as
much as anyone's toward this
air pollution extermination. "
Now if all individuals and
companies who profit from
these two industries : in this
valley would do the same (af
ter their overhead is . paid)
perhaps we would do away
with this air pollution.

Predictions
To the Editor: We were in
trigued to find a unique, fresh
ly minted book on sale which
we purchased as a curious
specimen. The title is, "A
Hundred Years Hence, The
Expectations of An Optimist,"
by T. Baron Russell, A. C.
McClurg & Co., Chicago, 1906.
There are more than 200
subjects listed in the index.
One fourth of the leaves were
uncut, just as when it arrived
from the printer.
-.The book was published to
be read only in the year of
2006. Now, just 53 years after
the author's predicitions made
for 100 years ahead, many or
all. the list of categories, have
come to pass in only one half
the time. Id
The author's preface was
written at Beaufort House,
Brentford. There are 308
pages of interesting topics. By
another 50 years many more
changes undoubtedly will fol
low the present trend already
mentioned too numerous to
mention even in another
book.

Tobacco and Advertising '
To the Editor: Tobacco has
a long history. A native of the
Western Hemisphere, it was
introduced in France in 1559
from Spain. In 1585 it was
taken to England by Sir Fran
cis Drake. Tobacco was at
first recommended for medi
cinal virtues, but soon became
an article of luxury.
In America the culture sof
tobacco began in Virginia. In
1615, in the - gardens, fields,
and even fee streets of James
town it became not only the
staple crop, but the principal
currency of the colony. Tobac
co is a product world wide,
and is a way of life for mil
lions of people.

ty, notably those of Greece
and Rome. Acta Diurna, an of

British -German Split Eyed in
CommonMarketOrgan iza tions
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer went to
London this week to patch
up an old
quarrel and to
prevent the
possible out
break of a
new one. -:
' The old one
has been well
publicized and
centers around
Aden a'uer's
mil newsom uiSttUSt Ot
British intentions toward the
defense of West Berlin and a
proposed policy Of "disengage
ment" between East and West
which Adenauer believes
would disastrously weaken
Western defenses.
The possible v new quarrel
springs from Britain's intense
dislike for the European com
mon market, which has divid
ed Europe into two economic
camps, and in which West
Germany is a key. . -
They now are described by
the euphonious titles, "Inner
Six" and "'Outer Seven." The
euphony ends with the titles.
The titles' relate to geogra
phic descriptions. The "inner
reign of Julius Caesar, con
tained considerable advertis
ing matter. In medieval times
Shopkeepers hired public cri
ers to announce the sale of
goods. .
The era of 7 modern adver
tising began with the inven
tion of printing, and printed
posters were displayed in Eng
land before the "end of; the
15th century. . - "". '
The first American adver
tising agency was established
in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1840.
Today more than 2,000 adver
tising agencies are active in
the U.S.A.
We are supposed to improve
our minds and take this mo
dern way of life as a" God-given
gift. We cannot go back
and I doubt if many wish to,
because if it was not for pro
gress in all' phases of life our
children might not be able to
read an advertisement in the
papers or see it on TV. The Bi
ble does not mention tobacco
once, and it also states "What
gdeth down the throat does
not defile the body but what
cometh out of the mouth."
If there, is anything at fault
it is the fairer sex, because the
cigarettes are on the shopping
list. The last 20 years the to
bacco companies have sold
more cigarette cartons than
they used to sell packs. "Tailor-made"
cigarettes used to be
a treat on Sunday and the
head of the house used to
smoke.
The Bible says the man .is
the head and the women
should b"e seen but not heard
unless she first talked it over
with her husband. The world
is a problem, but we do have
to put up with it, so, let's all
smile and love our enemies.

Refuses Original Invitation
Similarly, Britain refused
an original invitation to join
the "Inner Six" because of
prior commitments to Com
monwealth members. ,.
Other nations, such as Den
mark, Belgium and The Neth
erlands, entered either .group
only ' with ' reluctance because
they regard themselves as
"Atlantic" nations, with
strong ties to the dollar group.

one problem has - created

did the European defense

The unforseen danger that
now arises is that, as each
group reduces trade , walls
within its own area, they wilf
at the same time erect ruinous
tariff barriers against the
other.
And Britain, at one time a
strong advocate of European
umty, now fears that as the
"Inner Six" more closer to
political as well as economic
unity, she may find herself

some new. repellants and in
secticides - good for not less
than 12 hours - but also some
solid dope on the "behavior
patterns" of insects, so thty
will know better how to com
bat 'em.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
International affairs: -: i
Nationalist China's presi
dent Chiang Kai-Shek, still de
termined to return to the Chi
nese mainland, wants to build
Formosa into a model Chi
nese province to prove the
Nationalists are capable and
worthy of ruling the main
land. .... , . . ;
There Is . more and more
talk of industrial development
Of Formosa. This talk includes
plans'for a modern steel mill,
expansion of the shipbuilding 1
industry and other projects.
llfHO'LL pay the bill?
You know who.
He wears a chin whisker
and a high hat.
CLEMENT ATTLEE, a for
mer British prime minis
ter, was quoted in Denver the
other day as having said Pres
ident Eisenhower was some-,
what second-rate as a soldier
and no better as a statesman.
Jumped about it in St.
Louis, he' says he was quoted,
out of context. Asked if he
would elaborate and put the
comment back in context, he
snapped: "Find out what I've
written." The dispatch adds
that he "parried questions
gruffly."
Hmmmmmm.
Attlee, General Monty
and this British general who
got into the news a whileback
about Ike playing golf instead
of leading the army might do
well to go back and read Ben
jamin Franklin's statement at
the signing of our Declara
tion of Independence on July
4, 1776, to the effect that "we
must all hang together, or
assuredly we shall all hang
separately."
It holds true in the present
cold war situation.
POLITICS:
Governor G. M e n n e n
(Soapy) Williams of Michigan,
speaking in Houston, Texas,
says he thinks Senator Lyn
don Johnson, a Southern con
servative, ' would "give " the
people an honorable admini
stration if elected President."
Coming from Governor
Williams, who is a liberal
with a capital L, that is a
rather unusual example of tol
erance. One can't help think
ing we could' use quite a little
more tolerance in our politics.
GOVERNOR Nelson-Rockefeller
of New York, in his
swing around the Pacific
Coast, told a Western udi
ence the other day that he
"has no burning desire to be
President, but does have a
burning concern over the
country's future."
The odd part of it is that
he probably meant it. Govern
or Rockefeller is a rather re
markable young man. v
IN Conclusion: '
Vice-President Nixon, who
is also a rather remarkable
young man, never carries so
much as a note.with him when
he is making a speech. He pre
pares his talk carefully, but
speaks extemporaneously.
That's a point in his favor.
It's hard to imagine anything
more boresome than listehing
to somebody read -a speech.
